Songoftheday 10/20/15 - The sweet words you whispered didn't mean a thing, I guess our song is over as we begin to sing...

"Could've Been" - Tiffany
from the album Tiffany (1987)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #1 (two weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 14

Today's Song of the Day comes from the teenage "mall queen" singer Tiffany, who surprisingly went to the top of the American pop chart in 1987 with her remake of the Tommy James 60's hit "I Think We're Alone Now". The next single from her self-titled debut album was "Could've Been", a ballad written by nightclub singer Lois Blaitsch, and gave her more of a audience, and definitely fit some prom dances quite nicely...

"Could've Been" became Tiffany's second (and possibly final) #1 pop hit in America in February of 1988. The single also topped Billboard's Adult Contemporary (or "easy listening") chart for a week. Internationally, the record went to #1 on the Canadian pop chart for three weeks, and peaked at #4 in the UK.
